Grundfos buys American UV disinfection specialist

Danish pump manufacturer Grundfos announced on 5 June 2012 that it had acquired
Enaqua, a San Diego-based company specializing in ultraviolet disinfection technology and specialized
membranes for water purification.

The purchase marks a step toward Grundfos' ambition of deriving one third of its future turnover
from sources other than pump solutions and being a trendsetter in water technology.

Peter Røpke, Grundfos Group executive vice president of business development,
commented, "The partnership with Enaqua doubtlessly strengthens us. Most of all because, in the
short view, we shall obtain new technology and competence which will, in the long view, enable us
to deliver new solutions for water treatment with strengthened focus on sustainability."

Enaqua, which was founded in 1985, will continue to be managed by Manoj Jhawar, who
is the second of three generations of the founder's family that works at the company.
